Video: massive brawl breaks out at The Grove

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:51:50 GMT

Cellphone video taken Sunday at The Grove in Los Angeles captured a large brawl unfolding in the streets of the shopping mall.  The incident, located at 189 The Grove Drive, happened just after 3:30 p.m., officials with the Los Angeles Police Department told KTLA.  The video shows what appears to be about a half dozen people or more fighting in one of the streets that runs through the sprawling outdoor mall. A security guard can be seen moving toward the melee as it spills onto a nearby sidewalk. That guard and another are seen standing on the outskirts of the brawl as it continues.  At one point, video shows a man getting his shirt torn off as he tries to get out of the center of the fight, only to end up right back in the middle of the skirmish. Several people are throwing punches and fighting, making it unclear if they are trying to hurt the man or help him.  “Where is the police? Where is security?” a woman watching the fight break out yells.  Video taken Sunday, ...

The Frenchie becomes a favorite — and a dog-show contender

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:51:50 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The United States’ new favorite dog breed — the comical, controversial French bulldog — has never won the nation’s pre-eminent dog show. Yet here, at an ambling trot, comes Winston. The Frenchie with NFL connections is a strong contender at this week’s Westminster Kennel Club dog show, less than two months after the release of rankings showing that his kind has become the country’s most prevalent dog breed. Frenchies’ rise has been stunning: from 83rd most popular to No. 1 in three decades. It also has been dogged by concerns about their health, debate over the ethics of breeding, denunciations of a gold-rush-like market with ever more “exotic” variations, and a recent spate of high-profile and sometimes fatal robberies.If all that says something about these stumpy-snouted, pointy-eared, deep-chested, quizzical little bulldogs, what does it say about the culture that loves them? THEIR MEDIA IMAGE IMPACTS THEIR POPULARITY“Just like humans, dogs...

ANÁLISIS | El “nacionalismo” redefine la derecha estadounidense

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:51:50 GMT

(CNN) — El ala derecha estadounidense, identificada durante mucho tiempo con el movimiento conservador, se aferra cada vez más a algo muy diferente –el nacionalismo– que asusta a algunos estudiantes de historia pero inspira a una nueva generación de republicanos.Algunos ejemplos recientes:Al presentar su plataforma en una serie de videos, el expresidente Donald Trump acusa a una “clase globalista” de no poner a Estados Unidos en primer lugar.En medio de los restos de la carrera por cable del destituido presentador de Fox News, Tucker Carlson, se encuentra un viaje desde el conservador común hasta el nacionalista blanco explícito.Un diputado del Congreso, con una carrera prometedora, pide que el Partido Republicano sea “el partido del nacionalismo”.Estos momentos, que parecen anodinos para un consumidor habitual de noticias, nos recuerdan que el Partido Republicano ha luchado durante décadas para reconciliar a su asociación interna de nacionalistas y conservadores. ...

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A U.N. report on Monday strongly criticized the Taliban for carrying out public executions, lashings and stonings since seizing power in Afghanistan, and called on the country’s rulers to halt such practices.In the past six months alone, 274 men, 58 women and two boys were publicly flogged in Afghanistan, according to a report by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, or UNAMA.“Corporal punishment is a violation of the Convention against Torture and must cease,” said Fiona Frazer, the agency’s human rights chief.
